The Dorris Family
Francis and Sarah Dorris,
along with their children William, Maggie and Eva, were
among the very early Bronaugh families. They were well known
as sources for early Bronaugh History since they ran the
Bronaugh Journal for so long. They were also most active in
the Methodist Church. None of the children ever
married. Left: Francis Dorris from
